This site exists to provide our "Family of God" spiritual nourishment WE WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE WINTER SEASON BEGINNING JANUARY 11, 2015 April 23: Wedding Blessings to Mr. & Mrs. Ribbon ______________________________________________ SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE LESSONS DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? Audio Jesus Christ spent the last winter of His life comforting those He loved by speaking eternal words of promise and hope. "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25-26. We can trace the footsteps of Jesus during the winter months by referring back to John 10:22. "Then came the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem. It was winter and Jesus was in the temple area…" More... BREAK CAMP AND ADVANCE… Audio Moses proceeded to deliver a stern, yet impassioned accounting of the Israelite journey of the last 40 years. He pointed out that if the nation had followed God's perfect roadmap instead of their own, and set aside their fears, needs and wants, they could have avoided generations of heartache and struggle.

Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk, or a snooze in the sunshine...I want ecstasy, not transformation. I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy three dollars' worth of God, please" by Wilbur Reese. 1/11 Then They Will Know That I Am The Lord Audio
01/01 PUT THE POT ON THE FIRE Audio God begins our nation's calendar year perfectly with a parable given to another mighty nation over 2600 years ago. Appointed on God's calendar for the 10th day of the 10th month, it falls exactly on New Year's Day, 2015, on our Gregorian calendar. And it all has to do with a pot and a bunch of comfortable religious folks. This image is an ancient cooking pot from Megidd...o, from around 600 BC, about the time of today's lesson.

Audio 12/07 YOU HAVE BEEN UNFAITHFUL Audio 11/23-30 FEASTING FOR YOURSELVES Audio Our designated national holiday of Thanksgiving is undeniably THE Feast day of the entire year! This monumental mealtime will feature 46 million turkeys. That's about 736 million pounds of bird: roasted, grilled or deep-fried. But hey, one of those turkeys just might get a Presidential pardon! Isn't it all great fun! But turkey-day smiles don't last long. Pictured here is Present John F. Kennedy on November 19, 1963, just 3 days before he was assassinated. (Photo is public domain from Wikipedia Commons) More... 11/09 NOW THIS THING BECAME A SIN… Audio Today, November 9, 2014, is the anniversary date on God's calendar of the 15th day of the 8th month. And here's what happened on that day and shortly after. It's a tale of 2 men who lived 2950 years ago. Both were called by God to give counsel to His chosen people. Jeroboam was a King of the nation of Israel. The other man was nameless, referred to simply as "the man o...f God from Judah". This little known historical record, appointed on God's calendar for this very week, delivers a stern warning for any nation who calls on the Almighty as their God, but then decides to add their own politics into the mix. More... 11/2 ONE GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE… Audio RETURN TO ME...AND I WILL RETURN TO YOU Audio In the 6th century BC, a man named Zechariah declared the word of the Lord to the religious people around him. Well, 27 centuries later, on the exact anniversary date that it was delivered to the kingdo...m of Judah, the very same Word is being declared today to us religious folk in the 21st century AD. "THE RIGHT TIME FOR ME HAS NOT YET COME; FOR YOU ANY TIME IS RIGHT" Audio As Christians, we cannot begin to fathom the depths of God's perfect timing. Indeed, most of us do not even have a clue that God has a time and place for everything, especially anything that has to do with Jesus on this earth. God has given His chosen people His calendar, and has placed Jesus appointments all over it! Because to God and His Son, Jesus, timing has always been, is, and will continue to be, EVERYTHING! More... 10/12 GOD HIMSELF WILL BE WITH THEM Audio In the 23rd chapter of the Old Testament book of Leviticus, God appointed Holy Festivals to share the plan of salvation through Jesus to the entire timeline of humanity. Through these festivals, we are able to see God's plan beginning in the Exodus of the Israelites, knowing that the completion date on His calendar may occur during our lifetime.

Not only is this an absolutely stunning picture of the Almighty's handiwork in the western North Carolina evening sky, it prophetically appoints unfolding events which will one day culminate in the return of Jesus Christ, Himself! It is the biblical epic appointment known as the Day of Trumpets! More... 9/14 IN CHRIST THE WHOLE BUILDING IS JOINED TOGETHER Audio In Haggai 1:14-15 we find this scripture, "…The Lord made them and the rest of the people excited about working on the Temple of their God, the Lord All-Powerful. So they began this work on the 24th day of the sixth month in the second year Darius was the king." More... 09/07 J E A L O U S Audio Of all the words we Christians often use to describe God, "jealous" is certainly not one of them. Yet, 3500 years ago, God Almighty flamboyantly announced His jealousy, amidst fire and thunder, to His chosen people in Exodus 20:5. "I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God". And would you believe He made this radical announcement as He spoke the Ten Commandments, in the middle of the Second Commandment, of all places! More... 8/31 Consider Your Ways Audio (Photo illustration is a mid-1950's photo of my grandfather Oliver Stiles laboring toward a farm harvest with his work horses Old Bob and Old Pearl.) God has designated this month in His Word to be the sixth month of Elul (eh-LOOL) on His calendar. The Hebrew word "Elul" means to search out deeply, as in the heart. This is the month for "soul searching", and turning back to God. More... 8/24 Dear Friend in Christ, Audio 8/17 "TRUST IN GOD; AND TRUST ALSO IN ME" Audio
Every single day we hold a covenant phrase made to the Almighty in our very hands, and we rarely even think about it. When our needs and wants are met on a daily basis by the exchange of currency or coin, boldly emblazoned on every single one of them is the phrase "In God We Trust". 8/3 THE TIME HAS COME Audio
7/20 IN DIRE STRAITS: WE HAVE HEARD THAT GOD IS WITH YOU Audio "I lift up my eyes to the heavens and cry out with you: "Hear oh Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one." Adonai, the God of Israel, give us success as we are about to fight for your people Israel, against an enemy that defiles your name... please let that which is written: "for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you" be fulfilled in us and let us all say Amen."

Jerry Large: Jewish group backs Israel but wants 2-state solution
Israel needs a better kind of friendship from U.S.
Seattle Times staff columnist
Sometimes our best friends are the people who help us move from the easiest path to a more challenging road that will take us ultimately to a better place.
I accepted an invitation to watch the final presidential debate with a group of people who want the United States to be that kind of friend for Israel.
The viewing at The Royal Room in Seattle's Columbia City neighborhood was organized by J Street, an organization that started in 2008 and has grown rapidly since then, championing the need for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Barbara Lahav told me she got involved because she wants to create a safe, democratic Jewish homeland. She's the Pacific Northwest Regional Political Director of J Street, which calls itself "the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans."
The idea that for Israel to thrive, there has to be a resolution to its conflict with the Palestinians didn't come up in the presidential debate. For a long time, what passes for political discussion of that situation has been politicians competing to see who can declare their loyalty to Israel most loudly.
But Israel's long-term interests, and ours, would be served best if we could bring the parties together and help them build a lasting peace.
Polls show that's what most Jewish Americans support, but before J Street, Lahav said, the dominant progressive Jewish-American view was not often represented in political discussions about the Middle East. (J is the missing letter in Washington D.C.'s street-naming scheme.)
Being hawkish about Israel to appeal to American Jews is a mistake, she said, "because most of the American Jewish community is progressive. Most of us are concerned with the same pocketbook issues as everyone else."
At the debate viewing, she said: "We represent the 83 percent of American Jews who support U.S. leadership to resolve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict with a two-state solution."
After Monday's debate, J Street founder and national president, Jeremy Ben-Ami, spoke by phone to attendees of 50 such gatherings around the country. He began by noting that Israel was mentioned 36 times, "more than any country but Iran. Entire regions of the world were absent from the discussion," he said. Israel remains important to American Jews but isn't ranked as the top issue by more than a small percentage.
The political rhetoric is out of kilter.
"Sadly," Ben-Ami said, "the broken politics around Israel in the United States have created a warped conversation in which it's deemed to be an act of political necessity to mouth platitudes about standing with Israel, but never really addressing the problems that it faces."
Lahav said those problems have to be faced. "All the work I do is because I believe in a democratic Jewish homeland."
Lahav is a mother of two who grew up in Renton, then graduated from Seattle's Franklin High School before going off to college in Israel.
Her parents fled Germany during the Holocaust and were staunch Zionists. Growing up, she heard the hushed conversations about relatives no longer alive, and saw the tears when her parents looked at family albums.
There needs to be a Jewish homeland, but what kind of country will it be?
Lahav lived in Israel for 16 years. "Little by little, I saw the erosion of personal freedom," for citizens, she said, and she saw persecution.
She and her family moved back to Seattle in 1989. She tries to visit Israel every year and has been active in efforts to build peace for all of those years.
She believes J Street holds great promise to change the conversation in America for everyone's benefit. It is "a strong organization that plays by the rules of the big boys," she said. It has campus affiliates, rabbinical connections and a growing political footprint.
This election season it has raised $1.7 million so far for candidates it supports, Lahav said. J Street's support, endorsements and contributions give elected officials room to work for peace without fear they will be labeled anti-Israel.
J Street seeks to redefine what being pro-Israel means because true friendship is more valuable than opportunistic rhetoric.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then Hezekiah invited all of Israel and Judah, with personal letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, to come to The Temple of God in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover to Israel's God. | 1 Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to come to the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel. |
2 The king and his officials and the congregation in Jerusalem had decided to celebrate Passover in the second month. | 2 The king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem decided to celebrate the Passover in the second month. |
3 They hadn't been able to celebrate it at the regular time because not enough of the priests were yet personally prepared and the people hadn't had time to gather in Jerusalem. | 3 They had not been able to celebrate it at the regular time because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not assembled in Jerusalem. |
4 Under these circumstances, the revised date was approved by both king and people | 4 The plan seemed right both to the king and to the whole assembly. |
5 and they sent out the invitation from one end of the country to the other, from Beersheba in the south to Dan in the north: "Come and celebrate the Passover to Israel's God in Jerusalem." No one living had ever celebrated it properly. | 5 They decided to send a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, calling the people to come to Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel. It had not been celebrated in large numbers according to what was written. |
6 The king gave the orders, and the couriers delivered the invitations from the king and his leaders throughout Israel and Judah. The invitation read: "O Israelites! Come back to God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he can return to you who have survived the predations of the kings of Assyria. | 6 At the king's command, couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and from his officials, which read: "People of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, that he may return to you who are left, who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. |
7 Don't repeat the sins of your ancestors who turned their backs on God, the God of their ancestors who then brought them to ruin - you can see the ruins all around you. | 7 Do not be like your fathers and brothers, who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he made them an object of horror, as you see. |
8 Don't be pigheaded as your ancestors were. Clasp God's outstretched hand. Come to his Temple of holy worship, consecrated for all time. Serve God, your God. You'll no longer be in danger of his hot anger. | 8 Do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were; submit to the LORD. Come to the sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that his fierce anger will turn away from you. |
9 If you come back to God, your captive relatives and children will be treated compassionately and allowed to come home. Your God is gracious and kind and won't snub you - come back and he'll welcome you with open arms." | 9 If you return to the LORD, then your brothers and your children will be shown compassion by their captors and will come back to this land, for the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him." |
10 So the couriers set out, going from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far north as Zebulun. But the people poked fun at them, treated them as a joke. | 10 The couriers went from town to town in Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun, but the people scorned and ridiculed them. |
11 But not all; some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun weren't too proud to accept the invitation and come to Jerusalem. | 11 Nevertheless, some men of Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun humbled themselves and went to Jerusalem. |
12 It was better in Judah - God worked powerfully among them to make it unanimous, responding to the orders sent out by the king and his officials, orders backed up by the word of God. | 12 Also in Judah the hand of God was on the people to give them unity of mind to carry out what the king and his officials had ordered, following the word of the LORD. |
13 It turned out that there was a tremendous crowd of people when the time came in the second month to celebrate the Passover (sometimes called the Feast of Unraised Bread). | 13 A very large crowd of people assembled in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month. |
14 First they went to work and got rid of all the pagan altars that were in Jerusalem - hauled them off and dumped them in the Kidron Valley. | 14 They removed the altars in Jerusalem and cleared away the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley. |
15 Then, on the fourteenth day of the second month, they slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests and Levites weren't ready; but now, embarrassed in their laziness, they consecrated themselves and brought Whole-Burnt-Offerings to The Temple of God. | 15 They slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed and consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the temple of the LORD. |
16 Ready now, they stood at their posts as designated by The Revelation of Moses the holy man; the priests sprinkled the blood the Levites handed to them. | 16 Then they took up their regular positions as prescribed in the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood handed to them by the Levites. |
17 Because so many in the congregation had not properly prepared themselves by consecration and so were not qualified, the Levites took charge of the slaughter of the Passover lambs so that they would be properly consecrated to God. | 17 Since many in the crowd had not consecrated themselves, the Levites had to kill the Passover lambs for all those who were not ceremonially clean and could not consecrate [their lambs] to the LORD. |
18 There were a lot of people, especially those from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, who did not eat the Passover meal because they had not prepared themselves adequately. Hezekiah prayed for these as follows: "May God who is all good, pardon and forgive | 18 Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the LORD, who is good, pardon everyone |
19 everyone who sincerely desires God, the God of our ancestors. Even - especially! - these who do not meet the literal conditions stated for access to The Temple." | 19 who sets his heart on seeking God--the LORD, the God of his fathers--even if he is not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary." |
20 God responded to Hezekiah's prayer and healed the people. | 20 And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people. |
21 All the Israelites present in Jerusalem celebrated the Passover (Feast of Unraised Bread) for seven days, celebrated exuberantly. The Levites and priests praised God day after day, filling the air with praise sounds of percussion and brass. | 21 The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great rejoicing, while the Levites and priests sang to the LORD every day, accompanied by the LORD's instruments of praise. |
22 Hezekiah commended the Levites for the superb way in which they had led the people in the worship of God. | 22 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites, who showed good understanding of the service of the LORD. For the seven days they ate their assigned portion and offered fellowship offerings and praised the LORD, the God of their fathers. |
23 they all decided to keep going for another seven days! So they just kept on celebrating, and as joyfully as they began. | 23 The whole assembly then agreed to celebrate the festival seven more days; so for another seven days they celebrated joyfully. |
24 Hezekiah king of Judah gave 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep for the congregation's worship; the officials gave an additional 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep. And there turned out to be plenty of consecrated priests - qualified and well-prepared. | 24 Hezekiah king of Judah provided a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep and goats for the assembly, and the officials provided them with a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A great number of priests consecrated themselves. |
25 The whole congregation of Judah, the priests and Levites, the congregation that came in from Israel, and the resident aliens from both Israel and Judah, were all in on the joyous celebration. | 25 The entire assembly of Judah rejoiced, along with the priests and Levites and all who had assembled from Israel, including the aliens who had come from Israel and those who lived in Judah. |
26 Jerusalem was bursting with joy - nothing like this had taken place in Jerusalem since Solomon son of David king of Israel had built and dedicated The Temple. | 26 There was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. |
27 The priests and Levites had the last word: they stood and blessed the people. And God listened, listened as the ascending sound of their prayers entered his holy heaven. | 27 The priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard them, for their prayer reached heaven, his holy dwelling place. |

Superman Ice Cube Tray
Super cool.
Born on the planet Krypton, Superman was a god amongst the humans of Earth. His super strength, super speed, ability to fly, impervious skin, x-ray vision, incredibly chiseled jaw line, and super crafty alter ego all make the Man of Steel one of, if not the greatest superhero. But when Superman has finished his super day, he has an alter ego to maintain and we all know Clark Kent isn't skimping out on impressing the ladies.
It's dangerous for Clark to use his powers in public and risk revealing his secret identity. So when his guests are bummed because their drinks are lukewarm, he cant just use his Freeze Breath. Better yet, he can reach into his freezer and pull out his super meta ice cube tray. Superman, you so smooth.
Product Specifications
- Officially licensed DC Comics product

Transitional quarter for IAG Cargo
IAG Cargo's revenue fell 12 percent in Q2 of 2014 compared to the same period last year. CEO Steve Gunning says the airline expected this decrease.
"It's been very much a transitional quarter for us," Gunning tells Air Cargo World.
In May, IAG Cargo began using capacity on Qatar Airways-operated freighters – five B777F flights a week between Hong Kong and London. That meant IAG Cargo returned three B747-8 freighters it had leased from Global Supply Systems (GSS).
Gunning says a reduced freighter program for the airline meant reduced capacity and therefore diminished revenue.
"We recognized the market is in a challenging position and has been for some time with oversupply and capacity," Rachel Izzard, finance director at IAG Cargo, says. "We proactively took the difficult decision to exit the long-haul freighter program and move to a much more flexible, targeted program with Qatar on the Hong Kong-Stansted route and then focus on belly-hold lift, which is growing and is in great position for our customers."
Though Q2 volumes fell, Gunning says IAG Cargo is adjusting its quarterly figures on a "like-to-like basis" to reflect its lessened freighter program.
"When you do that, what you see is the agile underlying revenue is flat year on year, and given the fact that we've had a very difficult exchange rate movement, which has cost us about 11 million euros at the turnover level, actually means our underlying revenue's up about 11 million euros," Gunning says.
He says the airline's load factor is up about 1.5 percentage points, and its yield is down about 1.9 percentage points.
"Most of that is not around price erosion, but a variance in sector length. We seem to be running a lot more freight on longer sectors," Gunning says. "We're very encouraged by these results that seem to endorse the brave decision we made to come out of the GSS program."
The air cargo market remains challenging due to overcapacity from new aircraft with bigger cargo holds, he says. But he says demand bottomed out in the middle of 2013. Now, IAG Cargo sees an improvement in demand, particularly in some parts of Asia Pacific, though excess capacity puts a drag on yield performance.
"I think the challenge for the industry is going to be how do you get it into equilibrium," Gunning says. "There has to be capacity discipline."
He says many players in the airfreight industry could benefit from freighter collaborations, such as IAG Cargo's.
"The industry needs to be thinking of innovative ways of improving network connectivity and network reach, but not necessarily by just introducing additional aircraft into the market," he says.
Izzard doubts the future of full freighters.
"We believe apart from niche markets, full freighters with a fixed cost base [are] a very difficult position to run with," she says.
Gunning says the Qatar program has done well. IAG Cargo now uses additional capacity from India to the Middle East, and from the Middle East to Madrid. While India, Asia and Latin America are sound for the airline, he says Mainland Europe, not including Spain, needs to pick up.
Tonnage for IAG Cargo's Constant Climate product for pharmaceuticals increased by 63 percent year over year in Q2, Izzard says. Latin America and Africa have proven strong in perishables.
IAG Cargo plans to instate flying in the Iberia network to Montevideo, Uruguay, and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
"Latin America is obviously a very strong customer proposition," Izzard says.
The airline also works behind the scenes. It restructured its sales force in Latin America. And for the past 18 months, it has installed a single revenue management system.
"It's an internal development, but it makes a huge difference to our ability to optimize the revenue and also will then be the sort of foundation for a better online proposition," Gunning says.
Once IAG Cargo puts the system in place, it will have an online booking system that allows users to price a shipment. Also in the digital department, the e-air waybill now stands at 15 percent penetration for IAG.

I know pretty much no one can "beat" nidalee top lane. But if enemy team picks her, who would you pick? Malphite? Trynd? Is there any champions that are obvious great counter picks against a nidalee?
Senior Member
Believe it or not, I know a guy that run singed and still beat AD nid lol Back to serious, Udyr can probably sustain and keep farming and eventually do more than AD nid, and Poppy can also win with full armor rune page (That passive is OP)
Folly Inc
You know, I don't have a lot of experience with Nidalee on top, but I would imagine more AP based champions or tankier champions would at least be able to muscle her out of farming range. Vlad, Swain, and Cho'Gath all come to mind.
Thanks for your comments. All really good advice. Does poppy really poop on nidalee easily? It makes a lot of sense, totally curious to try it out. I just played as trynd vs. a nidalee, and rushed armor boots and wriggles. I got a couple ganks so I ended up winning pretty easily... I just ignored her harass and farmed. Can't kill her though, too much armor in cat form. Would a pro nidalee poop on trynd everytime? Or is it safe to say if I rush armor I can just ignore her and farm and do semi decently as a trynd?

1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204
1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204
A fire at an apartment complex this morning on SE Division Street had Portland firefighters connecting to a number of hydrants to put out the blaze. During this time, a large volume of water was drawn, increasing water flows in the surrounding pipelines. A number of residents in the area found their drinking water discolored as a result.
The infrequent surge of water from a hydrant often will cause temporary water discoloration, or "dirty water." The Portland Water Bureau reminds our customers that there is no health hazards associated with the discolored water. Dirty water is caused by stirring up harmless natural sediments found in our Bull Run water that normally deposit in slow flow sections water mains. Flushing a hydrant for routine maintenance or the use of a hydrant to fight a fire will stir up these tiny grains.
"If you encounter dirty water, we recommend that you run the cold water faucets in your home or business for about two to five minutes, or until the water clears," said Tim Hall, Public Information Manager. "If you continue to experience problems with water quality, please contact the bureau's Water Quality Line at (503) 823-7525."

The Portland Water Bureau began work on the development of its Fiscal Year 2013-2014 budget on October 17, 2012. The bureau is excited to develop a budget that allows it to continue to provide good customer service and clean, safe drinking water to residents and businesses within the metropolitan area.
A Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) is working with Water Bureau Administrator David Shaff and bureau directors and managers to develop the annual budget per City of Portland guidelines. The bureau has brought together representatives of key stakeholders, including members of the community, Portland Utility Review Board, and labor representatives who work in the bureau.
Together, these members and staff review, discuss, deliberate and work to develop a consensus budget that balances the infrastructure and service needs of a 117-year old water system, complies with state and federal regulations relating to clean water, and is understanding of the continuing recessionary economic challenges facing residents and businesses throughout the service delivery area.
BAC meetings will continue through January 2013. Generally there are two to three meetings per month, lasting two hours. The current scheduled dates are:
There may be follow-up meetings in February to review directives from the Office of Management & Finance and the Mayor's Office.
BAC meetings are held in the Portland Building, 1120 SW 5th Avenue, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the Fir Creek Room on the third floor. All meetings are open to the public, and there is an opportunity for public comment.

The Portland Water Bureau reports that one lane of traffic on NW Skyline Boulevard at NW Hawkins Boulevard must be closed to make emergency repairs to a telephone conduit that was damaged during pipe excavation work.
Flaggers will direct traffic into one lane around the 50 foot long work zone. The repair work is estimated to take about four to six hours to complete.
Motorists are encouraged to find alternate routes to avoid delays.
It's unknown at this time if the telephone conduit was active, but repairs are still being made. No phone service outage has yet to be reported.
A contractor for the Portland Water Bureau is constructing a 1.3 million gallon underground reservoir in the area of the conduit break. The project also requires some water pipe installation work in both NW Skyline Boulevard and NW Hawkins Boulevard.
For more information, contact Tim Hall, Public Information, at (503) 823-8064.
American Water Resources of Oregon (AWR), a private insurance company, informed the Portland Water Bureau that they will be doing yet another sales mailing offering water service line insurance in Portland.
The Water Bureau wants to remind our customers such offers are not associated with the City of Portland, nor does the Water Bureau have any connection with AWR, or any other such insurance carrier.

The recent Boil Water Advisory issued by the City ofTigard has prompted some insightful questions from the public. What causes a Boil Water Advisory to be issued?
Boil Water Advisories are required by state and federal regulations for a variety of reasons to ensure public health protection. Often, the reason for an advisory is due to the detection of bacteria within the drinking water system. Although drinking water is disinfected at the source to address any bacteria and most other microbial contaminants that may be present, these contaminants can sometimes be reintroduced into treated water as it moves through pipes, tanks and reservoirs and on to customers' taps.
Contamination can occur when there is a loss of water pressure, a pipe breaks, or another event occurs that exposes drinking water to outside elements. For example, a broken water pipe might allow for stormwater containing bacteria to be introduced into pipes downstream of the break. Utilities try to find out the precise cause whenever there is a detection; however, it is not always possible to make an exact determination.
Until follow-up testing confirms that no bacteria or other contaminants are present in the drinking water system, customers in an affected area can ensure the safety of their drinking water by boiling it according to the directions provided by their utility.
For more information on the regulations governing Boil Water Advisories, go to http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/rulesregs/sdwa/publicnotification/basicinformation.cfm

Arizona "Wrongful Conviction Compensation Act" Initiative (2012)
Not on Ballot |
This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot |
The Arizona Wrongful Conviction Compensation Act, did not make the November 6, 2012 ballot in the state of Arizona as an initiated state statute. This measure would have mandated that persons wrongfully convicted of a crime would receive $1000 per day of incarceration as a result of the conviction. This amount would have been split between government entities with 50% payable by the county where the conviction took place and 50% payable by the law enforcement agency that made the arrest. The proposal was introduced by the group called, Fox Petitions Supporting Wrongful Convictions Compensation Act, as shown on the Arizona Secretary of State's website.[1]
Path to the ballot
Since the measure was categorized as an initiated state statute, supporters must have collected 172,809 signatures by the July 5, 2012 petition drive deadline in order for the proposal to have been placed on the ballot.
According to reports, the measure did not file signatures by the deadline.[2]

What is the State of the Jets Receivers? My Take (@e_man)
Posted by Erik Manassy on Aug 3, 2011 in Main, News, Opinion | 0 comments
One of the positions that has been turned up on it's head has been the Wide Receivers. We drafted two, didn't sign one FA and are talking about possibly trading another. I wanted to take a deeper dive on what I think about the receiver predicament so far.
Santonio is a Lock
Santonio Holmes is going to be the number one. We signed him fast and we paid him big. He's the game changer and last season proved it as he won or put us into position to win games. There really isn't much to say about him.
Can Plaxico Return to his old Form?
If Plaxico Burress can return to his old form of himself, then he's going to be a big contribution to the team. I say he picks up where Braylon left off where he gives Sanchez that big target but he also has that burning speed. The big question mark is will he be ready for the game opener against Dallas on September 11th. I had heard he kept himself in shape and used Michael Vick as his "blueprint".
Yes, the Jets took a gamble on a person who I truly believe is sorry and ready to make up for his bad decisions in the past. I have this gut feeling that Burress is going to have a very good year.
Close the Door on Braylon
Rex said today that if Braylon wants to come back, he needs to take a pay cut. I think this is Rex just trying to not hurt the wide receivers feelings. Too many things have transpired and it appears the Jets have moved on with the signing of Plaxico Burress.
Now the question marks start to appear at the three slot. Some say Braylon can come in and start as the number two receiver if Plaxico isn't ready or be the number three receiver. Braylon, if he had his head on straight, could be a number one receiver on most teams. Do you REALLY think after all he's been through with the Jets in the past week, that we would accept a third string assignment. The fact of the matter is I think Braylon needs to get his act together and fast off the field. He's been having melt downs on twitter and we know about his history with the Jets in the past. I think the final straw just happened a few days ago when his entourage was involved in a bar fight. Braylon wasn't arrested but it just adds to his poor reputation of being a headache off the field.
I wanted Braylon back on the Jets right up until the point I heard about the fight. I'm done. I don't hate the guy and I really do wish he gets some serious help, but I need to move on and the Jets apparently are ready as well. I'm not sure why Rex is keeping the door open a crack with his comments today, but that's what Rex does. He doesn't burn bridges.
Edwards considers himself a No. 1 receiver, and you have to think he's looking for at least $8 million per year. He made $6.1 million last season, and it's hard to imagine him swallowing a massive pay cut to return to the Jets. – per Cimini
There is NO WAY the Jets are going to bring back #17. Oh wait, we have that filled already. His buddy Kerry and the Cardinals have been making a play to get him in AZ and even Chris Johnson wanted him with the Titans.
Can the Rookies Contribute?
We drafted Jeremy Kerley, a rookie this year who has speed. He probably will see more action on special teams than a starter in the offense but it's too early to make that call. We also drafted Scotty McKnight, who I like, but realistically I see on the practice squad this year. BTW, here are some of this tweets from yesterday. I don't know enough about the two rookies yet to make a guess that they will be starters for Gang Green, but obviously that's the plan.
Should the Jets Trade Cotchery?
I was shocked when I heard that the Jets were shopping Cotchery around. Speaking strictly from a fan perspective, NO the Jets should not do it. Can you imagine the uproar of Jets nation if we trade of the most current popular Jets. From a business perspective, maybe the Jets are going to get value for an older player who is a great possession receiver. There are other needs the Jets need to address like Safety and a pass rusher. If the Jets feel confident with the WR Core and Dustin Keller, then maybe it makes sense to unload Jerricho while you can still get value for him. I personally think it doesn't make sense.

Minouk Lim is a brave woman. At the opening in September of the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, Asia's biggest biennale, she will be responsible for a battered 6m x 3m x 3m container that will be positioned outside the event's huge windowless halls. Inside the container will be the remains of some of the civilians killed in the Korean war of 1950-1953 – the bones of near history. These particular remains were left in a cobalt quarry in Gyeongsan-si.
In a country where the media is subdued – and some might say government-controlled – Lim's dramatic gesture may seem provocative.
"People think that by ignoring the past they can move into the future," says the Seoul-based artist. "But this action is also about hospitality. I'm asking Gwangju to be open and welcome another story."
Gwangju carries its own burden of grief. The biennale might exhibit the usual characteristics of a circus coming to town, as artists, collectors, advisers, dealers and their dancing attendants attend overblown parties, but it's also an act of remembrance. The city was the site of the first civil uprising, in May 1980, against South Korea's military dictatorship that, seven years later, led to the country's first civilian leadership since its creation in 1948. In 1995, the biennale was devised to honour the 200 or more people who were lost in the battle in Gwangju 34 years ago.
"I think that memory has been officialised – it's become superficial and political," says Lim. She believes that if art is to be used as a salve to the collective consciousness, it should engender discussion and revelation rather than offer an immediate solution. "I don't want to create tension. I want to create a starting point."
Once the possible disturbance around Lim's exhibit has cooled, visitors will find at the biennale the work of 105 other artists from around the world, with some 20 from South Korea itself. This year – the 10th edition – is directed by Jessica Morgan, the 45-year-old Daskalopoulos curator at Tate Modern.
Morgan's job at Tate is a kind of curatorial public-private partnership funded by the Greek D Daskalopoulos Foundation which enables her to travel the world to help dispel the western stranglehold over modern and contemporary art. She collects for Tate in the Middle East, from Morocco to Iran and into south Asia, including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan. After the biennale she will turn her attention to a Tate show called The World Goes Pop. "It's looking at pop but outside the US and the UK," explains Morgan. "In eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America."
This determined globalism is reflected in her selection of artists for Gwangju, assembled under the title Burning Down the House. Taken from the Talking Heads song, the title could suggest both destruction and renewal.
"I was very consciously making an exhibition about what's not been seen here before," says Morgan of working in Gwangju. "And I was trying to think what is meaningful to show in Korea now."
For all that the biennale has a critical international reach, only 12 per cent of its visitors have in the past come from outside South Korea. Nearly half are local to Gwangju, a small city of only 1.4m people. Bearing in mind the country's political situation – South Korea's first female president, Park Geun-hye, is right of centre – such "meaningful" pieces could include South African artist Jane Alexander's rare new installation questioning state control and individual freedom. And Edward and Nancy Kienholz's dark military-looking figures on a mirrored surface that aims to reflect local opinion.
"Each figure has a sign on its head saying 'yes' or 'no'. But before we install it, we go out into the street and ask people if they support their government or not. Knowing Gwangju, it will be 'no'," explains Morgan.
Among the exhibits, which include 36 new commissions, there is plenty of painting and an abundance of narrative and realism.
"I've recently developed quite an aversion to abstraction," says Morgan. "We, I mean Tate, somehow bought in to this idea that there was a point in the early 20th century where you either chose abstraction or realism. And it was political: one was the west and the other was the communist east, with an absurd idea that one was more progressive than the other. Abstraction is now a market-driven thing taken to its own point of meaninglessness. We need to go back to what the figure is, the image and storytelling. It's important because it's often the way in for people."
This view is made flesh in the punishing performance work of Lee Bul – pieces the Korean artist has not recreated since the 1980s – that involve excruciating episodes of self-torture, reflecting the brutality of the times in which they were conceived. And in a section dedicated to gender and sexuality, where Carlos Motta's recent documentary on gay and transgendered people in Seoul might cause ripples.
There are big names too: Jeremy Deller will be creating flags outside; Carsten Höller and Urs Fischer will be given plenty of room inside. Puerto Rico-based Allora & Calzadilla return for the third time with a performance they will teach to people from Gwangju who work with their hands, from masseurs to bricklayers – you could call it art world glocal.
On the day we met, Morgan found out she wouldn't be presenting a work by Mona Hatoum she had hoped to weave into her biennale. The other no-show is a Catalan celebrity – long dead but still capable of causing a commotion. Morgan tried, but failed, to borrow Picasso's 1951 "Massacre in Korea" from the Musée Picasso in Paris (the museum, only recently reopened, felt it was too soon to let such a key work go). "Nominally Picasso was a communist, and if one thing is outlawed in South Korea, it's communism," says Morgan. "I still want the work in there in some form, but maybe if it's not the original it won't cause such a storm."

So few of us have a pension these days. That means we're on our own when it comes to preparing for retirement.
Unfortunately, too many of us are either intimidated or bored by retirement planning, and we end up putting ourselves in harm's way with commissioned salespeople that rip us off.
Many times those salespeople are from the insurance industry, even though there are very many honest agents. Other times they might be from a full-commission stock brokerage that eats up your money in fees.
Neither has a fiduciary duty to you under the laws of the United States. In plain English, that means they're free to put you in inappropriate or unsuitable investments to score themselves more money on commission.
So what do you do? Where can you turn? The good news is now there's a lot more advice available to you. Most people don't need a great deal of advice to build a portfolio.
All the discount brokers now offer some level of counseling or expertise that ranges in price from free to really cheap. They'll sit down with you and help you draw up a simple strategy.
Second, more and more employers as part of their 401(k) plans offer advice to you for free. Many times that will be very useful. But note this well, if your employer's 401(k) is handled by a full-commission stock brokerage or an insurance company, you do not want the free advice.
Third, you can pay for advice hourly through Garrett Planning Network. They'll help you draw up a road map for your retirement. If you have more substantial assets, then you'll probably need ongoing advice from a fee-only financial planner through NAPFA.org.
The key thing to understand is there are times you need advice from someone. But you need to get it the right way.

This has probably been discussed around here before, but I missed the conversation!
Granite, (St. Cecilia light) was installed in my kitchen in December. Was told that it was sealed in the workshop, and will need to be sealed again every year, which they suggested I do myself. For daily cleaning, I've been using "409 Natural Stone Cleaner," and it does look and feel clean and shiny for the most part. However, in certain light, I see what looks like, for lack of a better description, "watermarks" here and there. I can't clean these off. Was the granite not sealed well enough, or could I be doing/using something better/differently? What do you granite owners use to clean with? At HD recently, I saw "Simple Green Stone Cleaner" and "SG Stone Polish." Anyone used either product? Wonder if the polish would be a good idea? Also, Hope's, the makers of my fav cleaning product, "Perfect Glass," also makes "Perfect Countertops," for cleaning stone. Of course, I wonder about that too! I'm a little concerned about experimenting with products on the granite, so before I purchase, want to check out what people here are using! As far as sealer goes, what do y'all use? Is it difficult to apply? Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

Try using a heat gun or blow dryer to loosen the paper ..In time (depending how thick the new tiles are) the rough floor underneath will show through.. |

Dampen the floor with a sponge or sprayer. Warm/hot water works best. After a half hour or so, use a 4" wallpaper scraper to get up the old paper. |
This paper you are talking about may be a mineral fiber (asbestos) backing, if the floor is old enough. Whether or not you decide to remove this stuff yourself is your decision to make. |

Afghan Bomb Attack Kills Young Girls
An official says at least 10 young girls were killed in eastern Afghanistan Saturday when a bomb went off as they were gathering firewood. It was not immediately clear if the explosion was caused by a newly planted bomb or a previously unexploded landmine, left over from decades of conflict.

We do not know the names of at least 10 young children killed yesterday as they were collecting firewood in Afghanistan. The children - all girls - are said to range in age from nine to 11. They died in an apparently bomb blast in a province east of Kabul. Two others were wounded. It was not immediately clear if the explosion was caused by a newly planted bomb or a previously unexploded land mine left over from decades of conflict. The area near the border with Pakistan does harbor many Taliban insurgents.
